Really stiff and well designed
The only downsides I find are the rockerable axles, as they don’t fit tight in the frame so they have some wigle and crunch; and the limitation for further lateral adjustment (in my case it’s ok as it comes, but for some people might not be)

Cool stuff
I've been using these Endless Arc CS for a few weeks, and this is my first "wizard" style frame. I'm a size 40 boot. I was previously on 4x76mm heavily rockered (closer 4x70 with wheel wear-down). I primarily skate on smooth surfaces (indoor roller rinks or outdoor courts). I was looking for less "twitchiness", and I wanted to keep the smaller wheels.
This frame opens a new world of skating. I can still do basic slalom moves like grapevine, backwards criss-cross, but have the stability to do more. With this longer wheelbase I can go backwards at much higher speeds while maintaining stability and control. Currently trying to learn new moves like gazelles, lions, etc and making good progress.
These frames do have some "weight" to them, which takes time getting used to for toe and heel roles. The options of 4 different rocker levels is really nice. One of the 4 silver axles had an issue where I could only thread it halfway with any bolt I tried. Not sure if it came that way in the box, or I bent the threads on the first attempt ... I use one of the black in its place and can't feel the difference.
Overall, it's a great product. Happy skating!

It’s faster than you think!
I honestly didn’t expect these frames to be as fast as they are, simply due to the size of wheels. But once I learned to handle the rocking on higher speeds (which took me less than 2 weeks), I can easily keep up with my friends doing Urban right after Wizard practice session. It accelerates pretty well too, and although it is quite rocked, it’s also insanely stable, as it makes me feel like I can’t fall backwards and allow me to be more comfortable on predator position, or just rest a bit my tights by slightly stretching my legs every 5 minutes when I’m cruising. I would easily recommend this frame to anyone who also has small feet, and just as me, would like to learn any manoeuvres without having to switch frame/skate before going for urban or simply skating back home.
